For fellow middle school teachers my kids LOVE when I read aloud Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen (perfect point of view story that is especially good for getting middle schoolers to imagine what the "other kid" feels like)
The Library Card by Gary Paulsen (I use it before a research unit) I am David Anne Holm and L. W. Kingsland (great for discussion on what it means to be fully alive.appreciating what most of us take for granted....boy grows up post WWII i n Soviet camp) _________________________________________________________________ Like puzzles?
